"Father-in-law, this king will give you a million taels of silver. This amount of silver is very large, so you have to spend it carefully.”
Zhu Zhi said," This one million taels of silver will be included in the military expenditure. First, we have to beat up the three guards of Guangning. They are my personal guards." Secondly, they were scattered all over Liaodong. There was nothing that could not be solved with money. If there was, it was because they did not have enough money.”
Guo Ying was speechless.
Ever since Zhu Zhi returned with millions of taels of silver from Peace Peace Manor, the entire Liao King's residence had fallen into a strange atmosphere.
The trouble of being rich.
Now, everyone was worried about one thing-how should they spend this money?
Of course, this money could not be embezzled. Liaodong was the territory of the Liao King's residence. With the Liao King watching, whoever dared to stuff this money into their own pockets would definitely lose their heads.
Moreover, he couldn't spend it carelessly. He had to do something practical, something useful to Liaodong.
Therefore, everyone wanted to say," It was really frustrating to have money to spend.
Liaodong was bitter and cold. In the past, everyone wanted to break a copper coin into two halves. Now, it was great. How could they spend so much silver?
"The remaining three million taels will be put into the treasury of the wang fu.”
After making the " spending plan," Zhu Zhi thought of almost all the places where he could use the money, but he still had three million taels left.
Sigh, being too rich was also a kind of trouble.
"Your Highness! His Majesty has ordered you to take Xu Miaojin, the daughter of Prince Wuning of Zhongshan, as the concubine of Prince Liao!”
Zhu Zhi was stunned when he heard this,"Old Zhu, what do you mean?"
I give you money, and you give me a wife?？
……
Zhu Zhi walked into the study with a melancholic expression, while Princess Consort Liao was grinding ink.
"ChenQie greets wangye." The Liao Princess Consort bowed to Zhu Zhi.
"Yes."
Zhu Zhi sat on the rosewood chair in the study room. He was so angry that his stomach hurt.
It was not that he had no interest in women, but now that the matter was uncertain, how could he think of enjoying himself?
What's more, if the Liao King's residence only had one woman, then even if she didn't have children, it wouldn't matter. But if she married the daughter of the Duke of Wei, then the Liao King's consort would have no descendants and the Guo family would be in trouble.
Having no descendants was a big crime. If they didn't let the Liao Princess Consort give birth, then Guo Xian's status as the Liao Princess Consort would be shaken.
Zhu Yuanzhang, this old man, really knew how to find trouble for him.
"Your Highness, are you worried?" Princess Liao saw Zhu Zhi's unhappiness and asked softly.
"Sigh…"
Zhu Zhi sighed and said," His Majesty has decreed that I will marry Xu Miaojin, the daughter of the Duke of Wei, as my concubine. This, how can this not make me distressed?"”
"Wangye, ChenQie has heard of that Miss Miao Jin.”"Miss Miao Jin is gentle and virtuous. She is as beautiful as jade. She is a remarkable woman with both talent and beauty," Wang Fei said gently. His Majesty had decreed that His Highness should marry Miao Jin. This should be a good thing.”
"You know that this king is not the kind of person who is controlled by beauty.”Zhu Zhi said helplessly.
"Your Highness, think about it. If you marry Miss Miao Jin, there are three benefits.”
The princess said," Firstly, Miao Jin's sister is the current Princess Consort of Yan. Your Highness's fief, Liaodong, is adjacent to the King of Yan's fief, Beiping. Does this deepen your brotherhood with the King of Yan?"”
"Secondly, Miss Miao Jin is the daughter of Prince Wuning of Zhongshan. By marrying the Prince of Zhongshan, it is equivalent to pulling on the mountain of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei. The Duke of Wei has a close relationship with Prince Yiwen, and you have a deep friendship with Prince Yiwen. Although the Duke of Yan is also married to the Duke of Wei, you should know that the Duke of Wei has never liked the Duke of Yan's residence, but he recognizes you very much. If you marry the younger sister of the Duke of Wei, wouldn't that be adding to the marriage?”
"Thirdly, this is His Majesty's decree, and we cannot defy it. If Your Highness doesn't marry Xu Miaojin, His Majesty will be furious.”
Zhu Zhi thought about what Consort Liao said and found it to be reasonable.
If he married Xu Miaojin, it would be equivalent to pulling the Yan Residence and the Duke of Wei Residence on the same front. This kind of front was a stable front brought about by marriage, not the front of superficial brothers.
Moreover, Xu Miaojin was also a good wife. If he married her, he could clear many clues for Zhu Zhicheng…
"Why are you urging me to take Xu Miaojin as my concubine?”Zhu Zhi looked at the Liao Princess Consort suspiciously,"This should be harmful to you."”
"What harm without benefit? Chenqie is wangye's wangfei. If it's beneficial to wangye, then it's beneficial to Chenqie. If it's harmful to wangye, then it's harmful to Chenqie.”
Wang Fei leaned against Zhu Zhi's earlobe and said softly,"Moreover, Your Highness is strong, ChenQie can't handle it alone…"
"Then give this king a daughter first!”
"Aiya!"
……
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Zhi to marry Xu Miaojin as a concubine, which also changed Zhu Zhi's original idea.
If she married Xu Miaojin, she would have to let the Liao Princess Consort give birth to children.
Even if it was just one child, they had to.
Although the princess was not a vicious woman who would fight for love, but a virtuous and beautiful woman, it was because of this that Zhu Zhi made up his mind not to let the Liao princess suffer.
